Meaning: Happy weather; Merry weather

If the arrival of your little one feels like a breath of fresh air or the first sunny spring day after a long winter, Meriwether may be the name for you. This masculine surname-turned-first-name comes from the Middle English mirie, merie, or murie, meaning “merry” or “pleasant,” and wether, meaning “weather.” Its overall meaning of “merry weather” lives up to its name, and your little ray of sunshine will do the same, living authentically and presenting themselves exactly as they are no matter who they’re with. One thing’s for sure: it’s all good vibes and sunshine whenever Meriwether’s around. You can count on them to brighten any room they enter.
